Daniel Fitousi – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
For nearly half a century now, Garner interference has been serving as the gold standard measure of dimensional interaction and selective attention. But the mechanisms that generate Garner interference are still not well understood. The current study proposes a novel theory that ascribes the interference (and dimensional interaction in general) to…

Lum, Jarrad A. G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
This study examined the changes in saccadic amplitude associated with learning a visual sequence. The oculomotor system gradually adjusts saccadic parameters when tracking a visual stimulus, which has a predictable trajectory. In these contexts, the change in saccadic amplitudes leads to predictive fixations. That is, fixations made to a position…

Mayr, Ulrich; Kleffner-Canucci, Killian; Kikumoto, Atsushi; Redford, Melissa A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
It is almost a truism that language aids serial-order control through self-cuing of upcoming sequential elements. We measured speech onset latencies as subjects performed hierarchically organized task sequences while "thinking aloud" each task label. Surprisingly, speech onset latencies and response times (RTs) were highly synchronized,…

Runger, Dennis; Frensch, Peter A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
Research on incidental sequence learning typically is concerned with the characteristics of implicit or nonconscious learning. In this article, the authors aim to elucidate the cognitive mechanisms that contribute to the generation of explicit, reportable sequence knowledge. According to the unexpected-event hypothesis (P. A. Frensch, H. Haider,…

Schneider, Darryl W.; Logan, Gordon D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2007
Recent methodological advances have allowed researchers to address confounds in the measurement of task-switch costs in task-switching performance by dissociating cue switching from task switching. For example, in the transition-cuing procedure, which involves presenting cues for task transitions rather than for tasks, cue transitions (cue…

Jimenez, Luis; Vaquero, Joaquin M. M.; Lupianez, Juan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Four experiments investigate the differences between implicit and explicit sequence learning concerning their resilience to structural and superficial task changes. A superficial change that embedded the SRT task in the context of a selection task, while maintaining the sequence, did selectively hinder the expression of implicit learning. In…
